2.3 Stepping the Mast
Before you step the mast , check that the main halyard and gennaker halyard ends
are at the base of the mast and that the shrouds are securely attached and not
twisted (especially where they are attached to the mast). Also, check that the bottom
of the mast well is free from any debris and stand that will cause premature wear of
the mast well.
The RS Vareo mast only requires one person to step it. However, if you are stepping
it for the first time, or if it is windy, it would be wise to have another person with you
in case of any difficulty.
1. Stand the mast upright beside the boat.
2. Lift the mast up and pass the base of the mast through the hole in the mast
bridge .
3. Align the kicker attachment eye near the base of the mast up with the cut out
at the front of the mast bridge hole.
4. Pass the mast down, until it reaches the bottom of the mast well . Now the
mast will stand up by itself.
5. Clip the shrouds on to the u-bolts on the gunwhales .
2.4 Rigging the Boom
First, shackle the
kicker cascade to the rope strop on the forward-most eye on the
boom , and attach the lower end to the short rope strop, supplied in the rope kit. This
needs to be passed around the mast and through the metal eye on the front.
To thread the mainsheet :
1. Lead the mainsheet through the centre jammer cleat and ratchet block
(making sure that the rope is threaded through the ratchet block the correct
way, so that it ‘grips’ the rope when the sheet pulls out and runs freely when
you pull the sheet in).
HINT
To make the shrouds easier to clip on, pull on the main halyard to bend the mast.
